Vinyl Grading System

Mint (M) – Absolutely perfect in every way. Never been played and usually sealed. 

Near Mint (NM) – The record has been on a shelf between other records. The vinyl looks glossy and clearly has only been played a few times. There are no marks on the vinyl and the whole package is complete.

Excellent (E) – Same but I’d tolerate very light marks where the vinyl has been in and out of the inner sleeve a few times, or tiny signs of use generally.

Very Good Plus (VG+) – A few further faults are acceptable, but nothing that really compromises the record visually or audibly. A little rub, light inaudible marks, a little background crackle.

Very Good (VG) – It’s seen a bit of playing, but is still usable. Light pops and clicks, an edge split, light visible scratches. You can still listen to it and enjoy looking at it, but it is visually and audibly USED.

Good (G) – Not really suitable to collecting; more of a place-holder until you can find a better copy. I would only be selling something really desirable in this condition; expect some scratches & a heavily worn jacket.

Poor (P), Fair (F)  I don't sell any records in theses conditions.
